Australian musician Pete Murray moved to Byron Bay eight years ago and his new album reflects the relaxed lifestyle and hub of creativity he's surrounded himself with.

For his fifth album 'Blue Sky Blue: The Byron Sessions', he's joined by a string of other artists who live in the region, including Ash Grunwald, Scott Owen (The Living End), Katie Noonan, Bernard Fanning and Busby Marou.

With more than 40 shows across New South Wales, Victoria, Queensland, South Australia and the ACT, his album launch tour will start and end on the NSW north coast, the first gig at The Brewery, Byron Bay, on January 24.

Pete Murray joined us live in the studio to play Led off his new album, to be released on February 1.
